FULLTIME score:
Round 17
Brisbane Broncos 22 Cronulla Sharks 10
Match summary:
Fast and furious was the nature of the beast at Suncorp Stadium this afternoon with the home side bolting out to a 22-10 victory over the Sharks in the end.

AFTER six rounds of blood, sweat and tears, the Bulldogs are standing alone on top of the NRL ladder. This is the club which has given the League more than its fair share of headaches in recent times - what with officials being sacked or resigning and players bringing the game into strife with ill-disciplined displays off the field.
Meanwhile, an on-field incident has seen the Broncos penalised two competition points and with that, we see the Bulldogs delivered the number one spot on the competition ladder.
The irony isn't lost on this Monday's Expert.

TEENAGE Broncos sensation Karmichael Hunt has openly denied Brisbane and newly appointed Australian Rugby League coach Wayne Bennett had any influence over his decision to turn down selection for the New Zealand Test Team.
